This is such a stunning highlighter. I use most days just applying to my cheekbones but after reading some awesome reviews I will definitely find some new uses for it! It provides a beautiful subtle glow but is definitely buildable for a more intense look. I currently just apply with a powder brush but look forward to purchasing a blusher brush or something more suitable to make application that much easier. You only need such a small amount of product, I literally just lightly tap my brush and that’s all I need. A family friend purchased this for me while in America, and although much cheaper there I would definitely repurchase this product here in NZ. Yes it’s definitely quite expensive but I was given this I am guessing a year and a half ago and it still looks full. Which is insane! My sister steals this whenever she can and wants to buy one for herself! Definitely recommend purchasing you won’t regret!

Tips: Only need such a small amount of product - a very light tap with your brush will do!
Im very pale and i wasn't sure this highlighter would be light enough for me, but it is! It has a very light bronze tint to it so you have to be careful if you are very very pale. It makes you look so healthy and glory, i love to put it on my cheekbones to make them stand out, it has a bit of glitter in it so it really does make you glow!
Tips: if you are very light, use sparingly so it doesn't give you a big streak across your cheeks!
Quite pricey but totally worth it. Such an amazing colour, so pigmented. Perfect inner corner eye colour as well and brow highlight.
Tips: Definitely need this in you collection!
I love this product. Perfect to gently brush a small amount over your face it is great for a higher under your brows on your cheeks and above your Cupid's bow. I love this product. The packaging is beautiful the pigment is stunning, a little goes a long way, it doesn't make your face look to shimmery all and all a gorgeous product
This is my third purchase of soft and gentle, and I don't think I will be able to survive without it out.
I use both to highlight my cheeks, and also use in corners of my eyes, as an eyeshadow and even mixed with lip gloss. The uses are endless.
The only thing I don't like is that they have changed the packaging from a clasp/clip to a magnet- since then I am always fumbling and it seems to open a lot more in my makeup bag
Tips: LESS IS MORE! Don't overdo it.
This would be a great highlight for beginners. It looks beautiful on most skin tones. When using this product the pigmentation depends on how you put it on, and fix plus definitely makes it pop. The cost wasn't too bad for me as I'm a Macpro member but without it's probably an unnecessary cost with so many other highlighters out there. Love the packaging
I've been using this for almost a year and it barely looks used. This was my first ever highlighter, and since I have expanded my highlighter collection, I would recommend this to a beginner.
If you lightly dust this on with a fan brush you get a gorgeous 'soft and gentle' glow (yes I did just do that) but you can build it up to make a very intense highlight.
I remember my excitement when I purchased this highlighter for the first time... I had heard so many wonderful things about it and I was so new to the world of makeup. I cracked it open and swatched it on my hand, then applied it to my face... with a sharp intake of breath, I held on tight and never looked back.
This highlight is just all kinds of wonderful. It's the most gorgeous shade that flatters all kinds of skin tones.
The formula is blendable, so you can achieve that beautiful, natural glow and it's buildable if you're feeling like you wanna blind some B's with your highlight.
You truly cannot go wrong with this highlight and I haven't heard a bad word even whispered about this.
Absolutely LOVE this highlighter on my skin tone. I'm a pale skinned girl, and have never been a big fan of highlighters on my skin type. But this one is an exception! Although it has a decent price tag, I really think it's worth it. Great, strong compact ensure it's safe to leave in a makeup bag (although I wouldn't carry it around in my handbag just incase), the highlighter itself is incredible quality. You only need to use the TINIEST swipe of the product, so it lasts a VERY long time (I have been using my current one for the last two years, and it still looks as though it hasn't been used). A small swipe with a brush is all you need to give a nice, healthy glow. I'm not a big fan of over highlighting - so this product is perfect for me!
Tips: A little goes a long way!
I couldn't decide between a whole lot of highlighters and when the husband got a trip to Melbourne, I decided to make him get this for me in duty free. I do not for one second regret making him do this! This highlight lasts all day. It isn't overly glittery and doesn't emphasise pores. It blends so easily and is buildable so you can go either subtle to hello disco ball and anywhere in between.
I did find that the powder is quite fine and like the Hourglass AL powders, it does kind of go everywhere, but the packaging is also really nice - the magnet keeps it very much closed (the new packaging that is).
This has worked its way into my every day makeup and I just love love love the subtle glow it gives - it really is a soft and gentle highlight!
Tips: If you're using a matte blush and you want to give a bit of shimmer to it, just use this over the top to extend your glow :)
